The London Financial Association (Limited) invite sub scriptions for the Capital Stock of the British and Californian Banking Company (Limited). This Bank is established to supply those facilities which the great and increasing trade of California Imperatively re quires. It is remarkable than, while British capital has been seeking investment in joint-stock banking operations in every part of the world. California has been hitherto over looked. This omission has excited no little surprise on the part of the merchants and traders of that State, and the esta blishment of this Bank will be eagerly hailed by them. The - following facts show how large a field of operations will be open to this Institution. The yield of the gold fields is above £8,000,000 per annum, and is steadily increasing. , Silver rAines discovered about four years ago in the new ter ritor of Nevada are now producing £200,000 sterling per mon .rh. Great progress has been made in agriculture, and iY,tead of importing grain, as the gold colonies of Australia P.o, California exports largely. The population of the State exceeds 500,000, exclusive of the Chinese and Indians, and is on the increase. The Great Pacific Railway, for uniting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, is now under construction. When completed, it will take only six days to convey uassengers and goods from New York to San Francisco, and the latter place will then become an important depot for the trade to China, Japan, and other parts of the East. For the purpose of com munication, California is already brought by telegraph within ten days of Europe. There is tri-monthly steam communication between Cali fornia and the Eastern States, and Europe, via Panama, and bi-monthly between San Francisco and the British colonies to the north. The direct trade between England and Cali fornia, and between the colonies and California, is rapidly increasing; and a large proportion of the precious metals is being sent to London instead of, as formerly, to New York. The facilities for discounting commercial paper, and for deposits, are at present very deficient, contrasting remarkably with those in the Atlantic States, in India, China, Australia, and other British possessions. The rate of discount ranges from 1 to 2 per cent. per month, and the exchange business is capable of great develorment. The business of the Bank will include advances on ship ments of gold, silver, and other produce of the country, the purchase of bullion, the viscount of commercial bills, ad vances for a limited period on available securities and mer chandise, letters of credit, and all other usual banking operations. Applications for shares must be made in the subjoined form, which may be obtained at the offices of the London Financial Association (Lim ted), of the brokers, or of the bankers.

This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present value of their Shares in the market, viz.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 per oent pm. The British and Foreign 2 415 0 137 „ The Union 2 5 1 3 156 „ The Empire The Albion The Mercantile The strictest economy will be exercised in working, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the' actual neces sary disbursements and legal charges. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment of £1 per share, which will be retained on account of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture if payment of the remaining £1 per share be not made at the time to be stated in the notice of allotment. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's-buildings, LiverpooL In eases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be returned without deduction.

AN APPEAL to th e SHAKSPERE CONI miTTEE fer the ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.— Patronised by her Most Gracious MAJESTY and his Royal Highness the Prince of WALES.—The noblemen and gen tlemen forming the various Shakspere Committees are ear nestly prayed to ansider the appropriateness of devoting a portion of the funds collecting for the Tercentenary Celebra tion of the great Poet to the above Institution, founded for "the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then Is heard no more," and the education of their children. What nobler monument could be erected to the memory of Shakspere, himself a player, than the building and endowing the two schools of this College in his name, and enabling a few worn-out actors to pass in comfort to their last home who have contributed to your pleasure and amusement ? Shakspere writes :—" Good my lord, will you see the players well bestowed ! Do you hear, let them be well used; for they are abst rac t and brief chronicles of the time." WEBSTER, Master.

The following' Circular has This Day been issued to all Applicants for Shares in this Company :-- THE CREDIT FONCIER (Limited), At the Temporary Offices of the Mercantile Credit Associa tion (Limited), 21, Threadneedle-street, E.C., London, Feb. 10, 1884. Sir, —By a resolution of the Committee of the Stock Ex change, passed this day, it is required that all new companies shall issue at least one half of the number of shares consti tuting their nominal capital, and shill call up not less than 16 per cent. of the amount of such shares before being entitled to the privilege of being quoted on the Stock Exchange Offi cial List, Under these circumstances, and to comply with the regula tion above referred to, the Directors have this day decided to reduce the £lOO shares into £5O shares, to make the nominal capital of the Company £1,000,000, in 20,000 shares of £5O each ; the firsi issue to consist of 10,000 shares, as already announced ; and that £1 shall be paid on application and £4 on allotment. I am consequently instructed to enclose herewith an amended prospectus, and also a fresh form of application. The ➢leeting of the Directors stands adjourned to Wednes day, the 17th inst., at one o'clock, by which time the amended form of application should be returned, duly signet by you, as all applications not then received by the Directors must be considered as withdrawn, and the de,,osits already paid will be returned. _ I am, sir, your obedient servant ; G.

The progress Of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as to create a large and 'valuable landed property, which affords an excel lent field for the operation of a Land Mortgage Bank or Credit Fonder. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the best pro if of this progress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : ons. T 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 85,011 1855 1856 1857 1858 1859 1860 The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced 108,000 tons, but that ot 1862 reached 160,000 tons, This production tends every year to increase with the f aCi lities of obtaining labour from India, with extended cultiva tion and irrigation, and with the establishment of railroads, which are in course ot execution, and will be partially open to traffic in the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual value of the sugar crop may be t +ken at £3,09 1 ,000, and the fee-simple value of the sugar e dates at £6,000,000 ; in addition to which there is a large amount of real property in lands, houses, and other forms. There is also great scope for useful outlay of capital in im provements on estates, by erecting new machinery, clearing waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per annum, or 8 per cent. interest, with 2 per cent. commission, would be readily paid on loans redeemable by annuities, and with a security never less than double the advance. It is estimated that a sum of £2,000,000 might be safely in vested at this rate. Supposing £1,000,000 only to be invested at a difference of 4 per cent, between the rate paid upon bonds in England and received in Mauritius, it is evident that the profit on the paid-up portion of the share capital, which would not exceed £lOO,OOO or £150,000, would be very large. The remainder of the share capital of £500,000, together with the amount of first mortgagee on first-class real pro perty, which would always equal the amount of bonds issued, would thus give these bonds an unexceptionable security. The legislation of Mauritius affords great advantages for the establishment of a Credit Fonder, It is the same as that of the French Code Civil, and a law providing a simple and effective registration of all mortgages has just been passed for the express purpose of facilitating the establishment of Companies to lend upon land. Under these circumstances an application has been made to the Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank of India, on be half of a large number of the principal members of the Legis lative Council and Landed Proprietors of Mauritius, to esta blish a branch there. The Directors of the Land Mortgage Bank were of opinion that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions of their Bank were invited, it wai thought better to raise a separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while connected with the Mortgage Bank by friendly relations, should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly desirable, and will be the means of securing valuable busi ness to the new Company, while the expenses of an office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous arrangements. A deposit of 22 ie payable on allotment, and calls by in stalments up to XlO per ■hare will be made, after which it is intended to issue Bonds.

Wright, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning, from Calcutta and the Cape of Good Hope, after a rapid passage of 68 days at sea, and brings intelligence of the seizure of the Confederate cruiser Tuscalooza in Simon's Bay, by her Majesty's chip Nareissus,under orders from the I , Governor. . _ 'rho following summary of Cape news is from the Cape Argus of January 6 : Since the departure of the mail steamer Cambrian on the 21st December, the most interesting event that has occurred has been the seizure, by the Government, under orders from home, of the Confederate cruiser Tuscalooza, formerly the Federal Bark Conrad. The Tusc ilooza, which was in Simon's Bay rather more than three months ago, returned to that port on Saturday, December 26. Lieut. Lowe, her commander, reported that since her last visit the Tusca looza had been cruising between the Cape and Brazil, and had spoken nearly 100 vessels. But of that number only one happened to be a Federal. That one was the ship Living Age, which, having an English cargo on board, was released on giving a bond. During her cruise the Tus calooza put into one of the Brazilian ports for water and supplies, but was refused both, in consequence of which her crew aro said to have been placed upon short allowance. Lieut. Lowe hoped on his visit to Simon's Bay to get the bottom of his vessel recoppered, as well as to take in all the supplies ho needed. But his hopes were doomed to disap pointment, for en the day after her arrival Admiral Sir Baldwin Walker despatched from the flagship a lieute nant and a boarding party of twenty-five men to take possession of the Tuscaleeza in the Queen's name. The office: promptly executed the orders of the Ad miral, and the vessel was seized accordingly. Lieut. Lowe lodged with the Admiral a formal protest against the seizure, which will be transmitted to the home Government. The United States Consul, Mr. Graham, lodged a claim to the vessel on behalf of her former owners, end has since been informed by the Government that she will be detained until she can be handed over to them. The point upon which the authorities at home differ in opinion from Mr. Dennyssen, who was acting Attorney-General, and, as such, legal adviser of the Government, when the Tuscalooza formerly visited the Cape, is as to the competency of Captain Semmes to condemn prizes without taking them to a regu larly constituted prize court. Such court Captain Semmes claims to cmstitute on board the Alabama by virtue of authority from his Government ; and the question at issue is, whether that court, or pretended court, is a court whose decisions aggrivod persons aro bound to submit to, and and other Governments to acknowledge and accept. In our view the very idea of a court implies that the persons whose property is to be disposed of shall have the right of being present and the power of advocating their cause. With these conditions it cannot be said that the court held by Captain Semmes on board the Alabama complies. And his court, certainly, is not such a court as the other Powers of the world have established. It may be said that the cir cumstances of the Confederate States are exceptional, and that the coast being blockaded by a superior naval power, it would be impossible for Captain Semmes to send his prizes for condemnation to a court of his own country. But that, we take it, in an accident, all the unpleasant consequences of which the Confederates must submit to ; and if Captain Semmes' court be net such a court as indepoodent powers aro bound to acknowledge and respect, the condemnation was clearly illegal. Upon that point, she whole case turns. If the condemnation was illegal the conversion of the Con rad into an armed cruiser and her commission as such was equally so, and she cannot claim indemnity from seizure as a man-of-war. If, on the other hand, it is hold that the condemnation was sufficient then is the Tuscalooza entitled to all the privileges of a ship of war, ono of which is freedom from arrest. The public feeling here upon the subject is exactly ex pressed in the following letter of our Simon's Bay corres pondent:— Simon's Bay, Doc. 28, 1863, &e. Iler comm an d er h a f ug been e re on r a On Saturday the Confederate vessel Tuscalooza arri ved received by the auth or iti es here as an accre dited officer in charge of a Confederate inan•of hfur repairs, previous war, thought (having been more than 3 months away) that he could safely enter this port and obtain his supplies, &c. lie, however, Was wrong, for tho Admiral has seized his s hip, and Will holds possession of her. Of course the autho ritice are acting rip to their instructions, and there is no den) ing this fact—that if it is lawful and right to seize the ship now it was neither lawful nor right to receive her as she was received on a former occasion•—recognize her as a Confederate man-of. war, allow her commander to leave this port under that impression, and on his return, fully believ ing that all was right, to seize his ship without any warning. Letters from St. Helena state that Capt. Baldwin had held a court of inquiry on board the Vanderbilt respecting the death of Mr. Gray, chief mate of the Saxon, seized at Angra Pequina with part of the cargo of the Conrad on board, and that the evidence went to show that it was acci dental, but Capt. Baldwin considered that a fuller investi gation into the affair should be made when the Saxon reached New York. THE GALE. At 1 o'clock on Sunday morning the Brechin Castle of Whitby, coal laden, from Llanelly, was struck by a heavy sea and became a total wreck off Beachey Head. Tho captain and crow were saved and brought in a bovelling-beat to Dover, where they wore received at the Sailors' Home in a state of utter destitution. They were unable to save any of their clothing beyond that in which they stood up. On Saturday a despatch was received in Liverpool from Carnarvon announcing the total loss of the Fort George, a splendid iron-built Indiaman. The Fort George, under the command of Captain Newlands, left Calcutta from Liver pool on the 15th of October last, and had on board 1,960 bales of cotton and a largo quantity of jute and rice. On Friday evening, during a very severe gale, she was driven ashore on Cymyrau beach, near Carnarvon, and bilged. Previous to going ashore, however, she lost her rudder, and therefore became unmanageable. SHIELDS, Sittbuday Night. This morning between 6 and 7 o'clock a violent gale canto on to blow with the W.S.W., and it was continued until this hour (8 p.m.). Shields harbour was a perfect scene of contusion this forenoon, as a number of light vessels bed arrived at the bar from London, and the tug boats having got them into the harbour they could not be held to their anchors, and drifted about in an alarming manner. A good deal of datnago was done, but nothing very serious. At 10 o'clock this afternoon, however, a large full-rigged ship, tho Victoria, of North Shields, having 40 keels of coals on board, broke her mooring -chain, and drifted into the Nar rows. She grounded upon the Lowlight sand and lay there until 5 o'clock this afternoon, when she was towed off upon the flood tide by steamboats. It is feared that she is a good deal damaged. A collier brig, also, drove on to the Herd sand, but she has been got off. Just before dark this even ing, as a lighter laden with iron ore from Hartlepool was entering the harbour, she sunk. Her crew were saved, all but ono man, who wont down with the unfortunate craft- The steam tugs Lightning and Gloriana, of Shields, picked up a ship bottom off Flamborough Head the day before yesterday. They have towed her to the bar of the Tyne, and aro waiting an opportunity to bring her into port. She is supposed to bo a Norwegian bark laden with salt. 9 p.m. —The wind is now IV.N.W., and all the ships aro moored, But the gale is still blowing. LYTHAM, LANCASHIRE, Saturday Night. A very distressing shipwreck with loss of life has oc curred hero to-day, (writes Mr. J. Edmondson, Hon. Secretary of the Lytham branch of the National Lifeboat Institution) under the following circumstances :—During the height of a very heavy gale, which prevailed here from the west, a schooner was seen making for Lytham, and un fortunately, at a very critical part of the Channel. '[ho wind veered more to the northward when the schooner fell to leeward, and struck upon the Horse Bank, and such was the destructive force of the sea that she filled almost instantly, and fell over on her broadside, leaving but the slightest chance of escape for the poor fellows composing her crew. The Lytham lifeboat of the National Institution was promptly launched, a mes senger being sent oft at the same time for a steam tug ; and that not a moment might bo lost, the lifeboat, by means of a rope attached to her, was dragged through the surf along the shore by the spectators a distance of three quarters of a mile in the direction of the ill-fated vessel, when the steam tug coming up she took the lifeboat in tow, and proceeded with her as near to the wreck as it was prudent for the steamer to go, when the lifeboat was cast off, and upon her arriving at the wreck it was discovered, as was generally feared, that the crow had unhappily perished. The vessel proved to be the schooner Gipsy, of Drogheda, John Murphy master, with a crow of four hands. So complete was th e destruction of the vessel that the cargo was floating out of her when the lifeboat arrived alongside. HOLYHEAD, Saturday Night. This morning a brigantine, which was anchored in the outer roads, was observed to part ono cable. It was blow ing a strong gale from W.N.W. Soon after she drove and hoisted signals of distress, upon which the lifeboat of the National Institution stationed at Holyhead was at once sent to her assistance. When the lifeboat reached the vessel, which proved to be the brigantine Pia Nova, of Oporto, sho was found to bo so close to theelipera Rocks, that her stern was in the broken water, and it appeared almost hopeless to attempt to sarve her. However, some of the lifeboat's crew jumped on board, and, at much risk, and with great skill, succeeded in canting her the right way, slipped her chain, and ran her in safety to the valley. As the boat was re turning, her crow obs erve d the schooner Britann i a t o slip for the outer roads. The lifeboat procee ded to her assist ance, and fortu na t e l y succeeded in taking her to the valley. The lifeboat b e h aved very well, and the ma t e o f the Pia Nova considered her services very praiseworthy and the conduct of her crew most meritorious.
